While Winfrey may be one of the most recognizable faces on the planet, she apparently doesn't have as big a fan base in Switzerland. Winfrey tells O'Dell that while in Zurich for Tina Turner's wedding she left the hotel to go shopping by herself and was denied service when the clerk assumed that Winfrey wouldn't be able to afford the bag she was asking to see.

When asked if she has ever been called the N-word, Winfrey explained that, for her, sexism seems to be the bigger issue.

I can’t even put into words the contempt if feel towards these “f’n” perpetual “victims”. Screw you Oprah. You want racism ... you have how much money and you still complain?
Nothing will ever change your mind, You see racism under every rock. Well guess what you’re one generating it now. I for one have had my fill of people like you who have had far more chances than me as a white male AMERICAN and yet you still call racism whenever it suits you. Well guess what ... I am NOW a racist. I think people like you are the real racists and I am absolutely tired of your whining. So now I’m at the point where I want you gone ... you and your race baiting buddys like Jackson and Sharpton. Go back to your frigging home land and stay there. I for one don’t want you here screwing up MY country anymore

(Evil WILL flourish when good men WILL not act)

I can vouch for Germany...if you rounded up 100,000 Germans and asked them who Oprah was or to ID her....99-percent would say Oprah-who. She’s the most unknown character out of the US top 100 in Europe.

Exactly. I know it was just fantasy but Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman was a WHITE woman who was denied service at a store on Rodeo Drive because she looked like a hooker. Clearly not racism. The store in Zurich may have thought Oprah Hogfrey could not afford the item and their treatment of her had absolutely nothing to do with the color of her skin. Libs are always quick to cry racism when they don’t get their way. Even over-paid hogs like Oprah.

In other words the Black on Black murder rate in Chicago alone is higher in a year than the number of Blacks lynched in any given year. Even without extending the Greater Chicago area out to include Gary, Indiana the Chicago area produces more murdered Blacks in a year than the entire Jim Crow South could produce in a year due to non-due-process hangings.

(...even more American than a French bikini and a Russian AK-47.)

More likely that O’s salesclerk didn’t like Americans. I’ve experienced that when traveling in Europe. Some will come out and tell you to leave and some just ignore you and won’t serve you. I’ve been in some expensive stores there and was totally ignored, but I’ve also been treated really well. Racism had nothing to do with it.

The worst treatment I experienced in Europe was by a taxi driver in Köln, Germany. He was an uninformed, arrogant ass who took advantage of a captive audience (me & the Mrs) and told us what he thought of Americans. His biggest gripe was that the allied bombers had bombed his city (Köln) and killed his grandfather. I told him I thought he was upset because we kicked Germany's ass. With that, he abruptly pulled over and asked us to get out which was fine with us; we were only about 2 blocks from our destination and I didn't pay him so the ride was free. :-)

When I asked him if all those images of the Jews in concentration camps were real he told me not to believe everything I read in our American history books.

I experienced salesgirl snobbery in Geneva - despite not being underdressed myself. I guess when you’re stuck selling stuff you can never ever afford to rich people you get that way.
While I was in the store someone they called “Princess” came waltzing in - she definitely was not getting the evil eye. I figured she was an Arab from her looks.
Needless to say I saved myself some money by spending nothing in their snotty place.

I know that racism still exists, but it seems every time a liberal minority doesn’t get what they want, they cry racism. This does nothing but make people feel they “cry wolf” and then when a real racial incident occurs, people don’t look at it as seriously as it may be.

Oprah is yelling racism because some one didn’t sell her a certain item. If the whole world is so racist, she never would have had the money in the first place.

My niece was working at the mall and saving her money to buy a $350 Coach bag. Yeah, I know, she didn’t need it. But she was earning the money herself. She went into the store to see which one she would like when she had the money saved. The sales lady would not let her touch any of the bags. She’s white. Nothing was said of it, although niece wasn’t happy. When she had the money saved, she went in with cash, showed it to them, looked at three bags and bought the one she wanted. No big deal.

An arrogant, ungrateful billionaire who wants to use the tax dollars whitey pays the feral government to bully whitey some more.

She would have fit right in with those big, fat, mean, black lesbians who climbed over the McDonald's counter to give an #%%-whooping to the uppity n-word serving them, only to have him DEFEND HIMSELF.

Big, fat, mean black biotches consider it to be racism when they are prevented from giving #%%-whoopings, especially by an uppity n-word.
